What kids do

“Break the big number into hundreds, tens and ones. Multiply each part. Add the parts together.”

Teacher tip

Ask kids to label each box with its place value before they multiply.

How to use it

  • Have kids star the facts they know by heart and practice the rest on flash cards.
  • Use the same sheet twice in one week and compare the scores.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Kids who add instead of multiply when they are tired. Ask them to read the sign out loud.

Talk about it

  • Which facts are easy for you? Which ones still slow you down?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Have kids write a story problem for one fact and draw the groups.
